Just remember to roll down the windows when you get pulled over and you won't have a problem with the 5%. That's what I have to do.

Ive had my fair share of tint tickets over the last few years. People tell me im crazy but i wouldnt put legal tint on my vehicles to save my life... The windshield tint is where its at though. Makes such a difference.

Around here, you wouldn't make it 5 miles down the road before you would be pulled over for a 2nd time. Wow, go dark or go home huh!? Looks good bud.

I went with 5% as well but obviously didn't tint the windshield.

It's great during the day but does suck having to roll the windows down to reverse out at night

Yes that is for sure, I am considering trying LED's in the reverse lights and see how that does sometime soon.

Looks dang good man. I'm thinking about going 20% all the way around (minus the windshield obviously). I wouldn't make it 5 miles here if mine was like yours, but you can usually get away with 20% so long as you aren't giving them other excuses to pull you.

what type of hood do you have? Did it fit well? I'm buying one very soon.

I like the tint too. Around here you'd never get pulled over for it. I'm in the desert in CA. Summer temps reach 115 during the summer all the time. EVERYONE has their windows tinted. If you don't, and you're parked in the sun for say an hour or so.....the inside door panels, steering wheel, etc can be soooo hot you literally have to start the car and let the air run for 10 minutes before you can touch anything........

I wish I could get away with that. I have 20% all around except the front. Here in PA, you must have a Dr's excuse to have tint on the front. Even with that, the law says it must be "colorless", whatever that means.

Oh for the reverese lights to work w/the LEDs you need resistors, just found that out tonight.

Looks good, but I would pass on the windshield. I've heared a lot of cops will pull you over for having your winshield tinted. They would ignore the "illegal" side window tint, but if your windshield even looks tinted they'll ****** your a$$ up. I'd be afraid if I got into a wreck it'd be used against me even if it weren't my fault.

Hood is a kaenan. Even w/o any adjusting they fit almost perfect!

Night time isnt much different. not enough to make a difference. I know eventually ill get pulled over for tint but honestly from past experience they never even mention windshield tint. I keep this setup on all my rides and 20% on my wifes and shes been pulled over too so might as well get it dark as sin...A tint ticket is a tint ticket dont matter if its 5 or 20% your still getting a ticket in GA.

PLus the hood draws attention away from the windshield tint
